Looking for a Cinematic Videographer

[katiek]

I'm looking for somebody who will be able to shoot me in the UK using the cinematic style of shooting for some new projects.

Please send me an email with your name, details, a sample and a list of your rates for this style of shooting (for all different levels and hours, etc) to include the videography and post production.

I shall look forward to hearing from you. I'm looking at starting this project asap (ideally by the end of the month).

Thanks!

DOF and true 24 frames?

[Harry Powell]

I see you so smug on this site so often its about time someone posted a little observation about your ignorance

First off... 24fps is a redundant technology. As so few "real" moves shoot on 35mm and 99% of cinemas now showing films via DCP (Digital Cinema Print) there is no need to shoot 24fps. Even Blu Ray is a 24fps format.

I love the confidence here how a bunch of pornographers are all so wise on matters of professional and technical filmmaking but none of them could or can get a job in the real movie world...

And if you ask any movie cinematographer what makes images look good - its always the lenses (or glass as we call it) and being able to actually light. A camera is the least important part of the visual pipeline.

Good luck shooting models in travel lodges and carparks with camcorders and a personal happy ending

Now whose being smug now? I know all that stuff too but you dont have to be so rude about it

Sheesh. If youre the man for the job then why dont you just simply put yourself forward

I wouldve been ok letting Benson Media handle himself in his usual inimitable way but since I assume your comment was aimed at me when you state: "I love the confidence here how a bunch of pornographers are all so wise on matters of professional and technical filmmaking but none of them could or can get a job in the real movie world..."

Allow me to retort

Contrary to what you think you might know about people on here, then all may not be what you think it appears to be. I've worked with 16 mm and edited on Steenbecks at age 16 in a film club, worked with 35mm in animation, lo band/ hi band umatic machines and cameras and know my way around a projection room from my time working in a flagship West End cinema. So technically Ive been in the film industry and up until last year was a member of BECTU as well

Theres more to me than meets the eye and I still woudnt consider myself a professional because Im still learning new things in this fast moving world

As for shooting in travel lodges and car parks... Works just fine for me

Hehe.

I love this forum. So easy to get a grown man's panties in a bunch.

"if you ask any movie cinematographer what makes images look good - its always the lenses (or glass as we call it).."

Hahaha...classic. 'we', the movie cinematographers. Harry's sooo Voyage Prive!

Well, despite Harry's supercilious whining, he is correct. I pay much respect to lenses. Which is why I mentioned DOF.

Our video camera takes a multitude of lenses and our stills..well we just bought the Nikkor 105mm f2, supposedly king of bokeh. It's pretty cool.

We only use primes.

Regarding 24fps. I don't shoot at this frame rate. But given Katie's vague reference to "cinematic style" I guessed that these two qualities might be what she was alluding to.

Regarding shooting in travel lodges and car parks. I'm guessing this was a more general snipe at the UK industries amateur standards.

I'm not so precious with my locations. I prefer to take the view that a decent videographer (or even a cinematographer) should be able to shoot anywhere with good results.

I do not have any problem with you Terry and my comments were aimed directly at Benson Media. Although we have not met or spoken I like how you come across and you epitomise the best in British Porn. You both have fun and do good work and run what looks like several successful websites. So well done!

However this Benson Media chap is another level of crass.

I am bored of his magnanimous opinions that are based on the thinest of experiences and knowledge.

Even in his reply here here is quoting lens specs... really? is that needed? just admit you are fishing for a bite.

He is always the first to say something negative and always has a "witty reply" when he hijacks this forum, which looks like 5 or 6 times a week.

This man doesn't advance porn industry, nor encourage or advise... he simply is a negative and smug presence that annoys and insults.

And at the end of the day he runs his business from selling out his wife in porn shoots and this same girl is plastered all over many escort sites. So that makes Benson Media nothing more than a Pimp under the guise of being wise ass pornographer.

I dont judge that either - but lets not dress up any pretence from what it is.

Lastly, I am sorry Katie for hijacking your very legitimate request for better images of yourself.

[one eyed jack]

Well since you put it like that Harry, thanks for the compliments.

As I said, Benson is able to hold his own

And yes Katie, sorry for diverting your post but it is a forum after all, if anything we kept your post on top !happy!

[katiek]

In terms of what I'm looking for, have a look at Met-Art's homepage and watch the video

P.S I'm ok with the hijacking but you best all stick your heads together (whichever end you like) and come up with a cinematographer and get a good deal for me to apologise ;-p hehe x

Yes mistress !bow!
